The Knot Leather has been designing & creating quality, authentic leather works in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand since 2012.

My Father was given a belt from his father, which he wore everyday while fencing in the South Wairarapa. It’s nostalgic for me to create long lasting, purposeful items.

Apart from the industrial sewing machine everything is made by hand using high quality brass, nickel and leather.

I enjoy creating items for use in everyday life (such as a belt) and specialist items (such as camera straps & harnesses). Yes, my dad still wears the belt today.
